today's newsletter is all about the seaweed sway calendar (i.e. less subcategories). please scroll on down to see the upcoming gatherings. EVEN if you know you can't go, i encourage you to check out all these wonderful bands (and then perhaps you'll want to go! mayyybe - if you're out of town - you'll even make travel plans to SF around a show??!!!)

music video race screening at the rickshaw stop! i participated in this with conspiracy of venus last week. we made a music video in the presidio (wearing sheets!), completed in 48 hours. we would love for you to join us at the screening of all the videos. 16 local bands & film crews participated... other bands include Waters, French Cassettes, Cash Pony, Big Light, the 21st Century, & Vandella

conspiracy of venus presents: a transit of venus, at the make-out room... it's our season finale show! and we are celebrating a big celestial holiday, that literally will not happen again in our lifetime. see below to learn more about this rare celestial event. we have many surprises in store... including a re-enactment of the transit, and a sharing of our mythology. the lemon twist drill team is gonna wow us between sets, and portland folk artists mike coykendall, carlos forster, & kelly bauman will open. $8-10.

from wikipedia:

A transit of Venus across the Sun takes place when the planetVenus passes directly between the Sun and Earth, becoming visible against (and hence obscuring a small portion of) the solar disk. During a transit, Venus can be seen from Earth as a small black disk moving across the face of the Sun.... Transits of Venus are among the rarest of predictable astronomical phenomena. They occur in a pattern that repeats every 243 years, with pairs of transits eight years apart separated by long gaps of 121.5 years and 105.5 years.
